Question

The energy (and cost) needed to operate an air conditioner is proportional to the volume of the space that is being cooled. It costs ZAP Electronics about $125.00 per day to run an air conditioner in its small rectangular warehouse. The company's large warehouse, a few blocks away, is 2.5 times as long, wide, and high as the small warehouse. Estimate the daily cost of cooling the large warehouse with the same model of air conditioner. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Please help I have no idea how to do this ;-; (or even what it's asking really)

Answer 1

the volume of the large warehouse is 2.5^3 times the volume of the small one

daily cooling cost is ... $125.00 * (2.5^3)

Answer 2

Oh alright! Thank you!
